Vic, thank you for your kind words! I do have hope that she is well now, and perhaps one day we will be seeing each other again.

Jan, thank you also for your kind words! We didn't know until just a short while ago when she declined rapidly that she was very sick with heart problems. I had to rush her to the vet yesterday morning to have her put to sleep. She just colapsed on the bed and was having a painful heart attack. It was terrible to see and hear her in such pain, and I hope to never have to witness something like this again. The vet was wonderful and kind, and gave her a muscle relaxer right away which made her completely calm, before giving her the shot. It was heart wrenching to see her life slip away so suddenly, but I am glad that she is not suffering anymore. I have been wondering, like so many pet owners, if there are animals in Heaven. Searching the scriptures gave great hope, because there are many verses that indicate that to be true. This gives me such hope to see her again one day.

Christine, I do believe that there are animals in heaven. I can't recall the exact scriptures right now, but I do know that there are references to the earth being like heaven and other scriptures that make it highly likely that heaven contains animals.

That's a good topic for studying, isn't it? You'll have to email me what you found when you did your search.

Debbi, thank you for your kind comment! I see from your picture that you are a cat lover too. My Bebe was the sweetest cat. When I worked at the desk she would always lay on the footstool and rest her head on my feet. However long I was there she was there too. At night she would always come and sleep right next to me. She was mine and I was hers. When I look at her picture I melt with grief and miss her so much.
